96 Check Point ZoneAlarm User Guide
• Assign the network object's IP address to a MAC address
Normally, the ZoneAlarm DHCP server consistently assigns the same IP address to a
specific computer. However, if the ZoneAlarm DHCP server runs out of IP addresses
and the computer is down, then the DHCP server may reassign the IP address to a
different computer.
If you want to guarantee that a particular computer's IP address remains constant, you
can reserve the IP address for use by the computer's MAC address only. This is called
DHCP reservation, and it is useful if you are hosting a public Internet server on your
network.
• Web Filtering enforcement
You can specify whether or not to enforce the Web Filtering service and Web rules for
the network object. Network objects that are excluded from such enforcement will be
able to access the Internet without restriction. For information on Web Filtering, see
Web Filtering on page
